Dj Zinhle and Pearl Thusi photo file: SurgeZirc Media
Pearl Thusi and Dj Zinhle have one of the strongest friendship in the entertainment industry, their friendship began in 2015 and has grown stronger ever since.

Dj Zinhle once said that they have a very supportive and non-judgemental friendship, they are there for each other through thick and thin.

The two are both single parents who are also very hard-working.

Their friendship was questioned soon after Dj Zinhle’s birthday, last week was Dj Zinhle’s birthday and fans spotted that Pearl did not attend the birthday party, she also didn’t share her picture or wish her a Happy birthday on her social media pages.

Fans were suprised that Pearl didn’t post anything about Dj Zinhle’s birthday and quickly assumed that the friendship had gone sour, or they were not good terms with each other.

Pearl is a busy woman, We all know she is an international actress, for all we know she could have been busy shooting her next series and people just jumped into conclusions too quickly.

Days after speculations about her friendship with Zinhle, Pearl made it clear that they are still friends and are in good terms when she shared this tweet below:

“Can you guess what I’m getting @DJZinhle for her bday?!”

The good balances the bad when it comes to social media platforms. It only takes just one tweet to make someone trend on black twitter.

Pearl Thusi is on the receiving end of this one as she trends on black twitter for the recent interview she had with Mac G. Fans are not happy one bit.

For the last few months, tweeps have been tuning in to listen to MacG bringing in different celebrities and have a interview with them and keeping it casual.

He has had many other celebrities on his show but it looks like it’s only his recent interview with media personality Pearl Thusi that ended up as a trending topic .

For some time now Pearl Thusi has been very vocal about her alleged bullying for her light skin. She said that she would often be called names.

This is sad reality that many people have to go through. In her interview she revealed that she would even try to burn her skin. She said that being lightskinned wasn’t a previlage for her growing up.

On her interview with MacG she spoke about her childhood traumas that her light skin didn’t give her any previlages and that she even lost out on jobs because of he her light skin.

She spoke a lot about being a light skinned child growing up in the townships where the black community would allegedly make her feel like she doesn’t belong.

Black twitter users seem like they don’t believe that she was bullied or that her skin tone didn’t give her any previlages when she grew up.

That interview was not well recieved by the tweeter masses and here’s what they had to say.

‘

Nokubonga has changed for the worst ever since Menzi came to her life, he must have taught her to stand up for herself and be bold.Thokozile has made Nokubonga‘s life a living hell and now that an opportunity for her take Thokozile down once and for all has presented itself, she decides to make the most of it little knowing she is endangering herself.I am quite certain I am not the only one who is questioning Menzi’s intentions for Nokubonga because, judging from his look he knows more than he is letting on. After two se of meeting her, he already proposed meaning they hardly know each other worst part is that his fiance is not digging deep anything about him. She promised Menzi to marry him after she has ensured that Maluju oil is her company which is hers because of manipulating the Ngcolosi incident to her favor .

He had doubts about the relationship and that he is being used ended up putting pressure on her about the marriage, on their honeymoon away he hired goons to kill Nokubonga so that he can have the company shares to himself. Unfortunately Nokubonga did not think of signing a prenuptial agreement meaning in her absence her husband becomes the sole beneficiary.

Menzi made it all seem like he could not wait to marry the woman he loves and wake up to her by his bed side every morning while all he wanted was so settle old scores since he is her late husband’s enemy

It’s a group of 5 ladies who were just dancing for fun, which lead them into places, doing bigger things. We all know the society how they always finding things to say to demote our shine, well it happened for these young ladies as well. They where criticized for wearing the same outfits whenever they get a gig. They then decided to wear something different, which again people started criticizing.

Despite all the critics they still grew even financially, as they can now afford to buy new things and living up to the society standards. They have been Trending mostly for their outfits which people didn’t find them relevant anymore.

The greatest thing is these ladies didn’t stop there, they kept moving and they will still grow bigger and bigger
